Modbus Protocol
The Lambrecht meteo Modbus sensors and the met[LOG] follow the specifi cation of the Modbus organization: “MODBUS
APPLICATION PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION V1.1b3” (see www.modbus.org).
6.1
Data Encoding
MODBUS uses the „big-endian“ format for addresses and data. This means that if a value is transmit-ted with a number
format that is larger than a single byte, the „most signifi cant byte“ is sent fi rst. For values that go beyond one register (e.g.
32 bit) this is not clearly specifi ed for the Modbus. In these cases (32 bit or 64 bit) the LAMBRECHT Modbus sensors follow
the big-endian number format.
Example Big-Endian:
Register size value
16 - bits 0x1234 is transmitted in the order: 0x12 0x34.
Example big-endian (32 bit or 64 bit):
Register size value
32 - bits 0x12345678 is transmitted in the order: 0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78.
6.2
Device Address
The addresses 1...247 are permitted for Modbus.
6.3
